Ethernet Port
Overview
The following features are found in the Ethernet ports of the Switch 8800:
■ 10GBASE-X-XENPAK 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports work in 10-gigabit full duplex
mode.
■ 10GBASE-X-XFP operates in 10 Gbps full duplex mode, which needs no
configuring.
■ 1000BASE-X-SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports work in gigabit full duplex mode.
■ 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports support MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing,
and the modes are 1000 Mbps full duplex, 100 Mbps half/full duplex, and 10
Mbps half/full duplex. These modules also support auto-negotiation
